Experiencing Dune (and more) again
For the past few weeks, I’ve been reliving Frank Herbert’s Dune universe. I read the original saga way 10 years ago when a friend loaned me the six books that started the journey. Interestingly, I first encountered Dune in the form of a game “Dune 2”. This was THE game then that started my love for real time strategy (RTS) games. Some years later, I got my hands on the “Predude to Dune” trilogy by Brian Herbert and Kevin. J. Anderson (one of my favorite Star Wars authors). Atreides, Harkonnen and Corrino, names that invoked memories of long gaming nights and now they had come to life in the novels.
Today, I’ve just finished the last book in the “Legends of Dune” series. Had to re-read “The Machine Crusade” as my last read was couple of years back and “The Battle of Corrin” rounded up the trilogy nicely. For now, I’m just starting on “Hunters of Dune” and am looking forward to “Sandworms of Dune” and the “Heroes of Dune” series.
What’s weird is that all this old “stuff” is coming back into my life. Trek, GI-Joe !, Transformers… Can’t help but feel nostalgic when your childhood memories come back stronger and with more bang
